RE: Video: Porsche 962 At Laguna Seca

Nice editing on the film. I was there and this car was beautiful, but nothing came close to the RS Spyders in performance or sound. Probably had something to do with the young hotshoes driving them and the relatively low value of the Spyders compared to almost anything else there-at least for the next few years.

There was a terrific race at the Spa 6 Hours last month, the Trans-Atlantic Prototype Challenge, that pitched Group C, Can Am and GT1 cars against one another in the same race - kind of like the ultimate pub argument settler. The longtail '97 Mclaren F1 won in the end but not before all of us had seen it dropped by 40 year old Mclaren M8s on the straights. Awesome spectacle.

Great link

Amazing to watch live: some of those big guns - well over 8 NA litres of Yank iron, boasting gear boxes as big as buckets - thundered from the pits with wheels spinning just at idle in 1st!
